Romanian Cuisine

is an influence of foreign settlers that have occupied the land in the
past. Nations such as Greeks, Hungarians, Germans and Turks. These
past influences have allowed Romania to create its is own unique
gastronomy. Pork is the favourite main dish among most Romanians but
you will also find great beef, lamb and chicken dishes. Savouring
fish dishes are typical of the Danube Delta. Most meals are
complemented by soup which is a national specialty in Romania. Also
a variety of delicious cakes can be found on special events and
holidays.

beef or chicken.

A meal in Romania is incomplete
without a drink of the local spirit, tuica. A plum brandy usually
enjoyed before a meal along with some appetizers. It varies in
strength, dryness and smell according to the region. But if you
attempt this drink beware it does have a kick to it!
Romania is also home to some excellent wine and beer. Ursus, means
Bear, is among one of the best beers.
